Wild Boy explores

Autism is a difficult diagnosis for parents

to accept.Thats true of the parents in OliverGoldsticks Wild Boy, presented byDragon Theatre and based on Not EvenWrong: Adventures in Autism, a book byPaul Collins.Since three of the main characters arenamed after Collins, his wife Jennifer andtheir son Morgan, one assumes the play isbased on their real-life experiences.When their pediatrician suggests testingthat leads to a diagnosis of autism for theirtoddler son, Paul (Ryan ODonnell) andJennifer (Olivia Haas) are in denial.Over time, however, they come to realizethat Morgan (Johnathan Tierney) is different and that they have to do whatever theycan to help him.In the meantime, Paul, a writer, is working on a book about Peter, the Wild Boy(Tierney again), an apparently 12-year-oldferal boy who actually was found naked andmute in 1725 in a German forest by the manwho became Englands King George I (JohnStephen King).When he went to England to assume thethrone, George brought Peter along andturned him into a pet of sorts even thoughthe boy hated wearing clothes and wouldrather sleep on the floor than in a bed.Eventually he was sent to live with afarmer and others who looked after Peteruntil his death in 1785, when he was

The play smoothly switches between18th century and present. The present ismore interesting because its more relevantto what many parents are experiencing asthey cope with their childs autism.Paul and Jennifer never know what toexpect from Morgan, especially since helacks social skills and doesnt speak. Thestress strains their marriage.One of the few people who seems to relateto Morgan on some level is a family friend,Marc (King again), who takes him on outings to give the parents a break.Directed by Ken Sonkin, the play calls foronly seven actors, but all except ODonnellas Paul and Haas as Jennifer play multipleroles.The athletic Tierney as Morgan and Peterdoesnt speak but mostly scrambles aboutthe stage as Peter and remains absorbed inhis own world as Morgan.King plays several other roles besidesGeorge I and Marc. Also playing multipleroles are Mary Lou Torre, Isabel Siragusa andBryan Moriarty. All of them manage to create separate personas for each of their characters.Running about two hours with one intermission, the play has an unsettled ending,but it does help one to understand what itmeans to be different and what it takes tocope with differences.The Wild Boy will continue throughAug. 21 at Dragon Theatre, 2120 Broadway,Redwood City.

Thepayment was part of a decades-old dispute over a failed military equipmentdeal dating to the 1970s, before theIslamic revolution in 1979.Obama also answered political questions at the news conference, pushingback at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumps suggestions thatthe November election might be rigged,calling the assertion ridiculous. He

said his advice to Trump, a candidate he

has declared unfit for the presidency,was to go out there and try to win theelection.Trump and Democratic nomineeHillary Clinton will soon be receivingclassified briefings, giving them accessto sensitive information about nationalsecurity and Americas military posture.Asked whether he was worried aboutTrump having access to such material,Obama said simply that those who wantto be president need to start acting likeit. That means being able to receivethese briefings and not spread themaround, he said.The presidents appearance beforereporters followed an hourslong meeting with military leaders at thePentagon on the fight against theIslamic State group.Obama said there have been gains inweakening IS in Iraq and Syria, but heconceded the extremist group still posesa threat to the United States as it shiftsits tactics to carrying out attacks elsewhere around the world. While those

attacks may result in less carnage,

Obama said IS knows they still createthe kinds of fear and concern that elevates their profile.The rise of the Islamic State has keptObama tied to the Middle East in a wayhe had hoped to avoid in his eighth andfinal year in office. While the U.S. hasfar fewer troops in the region than whenhe took office in 2009, Republicansargue that the drawdown of troops fromIraq created a vacuum that allowed theIslamic State to thrive. Asked whetherhe feels any personal disappointmentabout not being able to do more to stopthe Islamic State, Obama said I haventgotten numb to it. It bugs me.On Syria, the president criticizedRussias support of government attacksagainst opposition forces and its siegesof cities such as Aleppo. He accusedRussia of failing to take steps to reduceviolence in Syria where a civil warhas raged for much of Obamas presidency but said the U.S. would continuetrying to push Moscow to focus on thefight against IS and other extremists.

WASHINGTON After a slow start, it appears increasingly likely that the Obama administration will hit its goalof admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United Statesbefore the end of September.State Department totals show that 2,340 Syrian refugeesarrived last month in the United States.Thats more than what occurred during the entire sevenmonths after President Barack Obama directed his team toprepare for 10,000 admissions from the war-torn country.Total admissions for the current budget year now come toabout 7,900, and the vast majority of them are SunniMuslims, records show.If the pace from June and July continues this month, thetarget should be reached with a couple weeks to spare beforeObama heads to the United Nations to urge world leaders toadmit more refugees and to increase funding for relief organizations. The U.N. General Assembly is holding a summitto address the large movements of refugees and migrantsthat stems primarily from conflicts in the Middle East andAfrica.Obama would have been hard-pressed to make the case forother countries to do more with the U.S. failing to reach agoal that amounts to only about 2 percent of the 480,000Syrian refugees in need of resettlement.Organizations that help relocate Syrian refugees said theWhite House and other administration officials have grownincreasingly confident of hitting the target.They put more resources on it, which is allowing moreindividuals to be processed and therefore able to travel,said Stacie Blake, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Committeefor Refugees and Immigrants, one of nine groups that helpresettle Syrian refugees.Obamas call for 10,000 entries this year was criticizedby most Republican governors and the GOP presidentialcandidates, who argued that the government lacked an adequate screening system to prevent suspected terrorists fromslipping into the U.S.

United Nations bungles response

to Africas yellow fever outbreakTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KINSHASA, Congo The World Health

Organization and its partners shipped morethan 6 million yellow fever vaccines toAngola in February to quash an emergingepidemic, yet when they asked country officials the following month what happened tothe vaccines, they discovered that about 1million doses had mysteriously disappeared.Of the shipments that did make it toAngola, some vaccines were sent to regionswith no yellow fever cases, while othersarrived at infected areas without syringes. Inneighboring Congo, some vaccines werentalways kept cold enough to guarantee theywould be effective.This lack of oversight and mismanagement has undermined control of the out-

break in Central Africa, the worst yellow

fever epidemic in decades, an AssociatedPress investigation has found.There is now a shortage of vaccines sosevere that WHO has recommended doses bediluted by 80 percent to stretch the supply,even though there is limited evidence theywill be effective in African populations.WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM ON OURHANDS, UNICEFs Robert Kezaala wrote incapital letters in a June email to his colleagues at WHO, Doctors Without Bordersand other partners.WHO vowed after its fumbled response tothe 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa thatit would adopt a no regrets policy to bettermanage future disease outbreaks with itspartners in other health organizations andnational governments.

LONDON A Somali-Norwegian teenager went on a knife rampage through

Londons Russell Square, a hub for studentsand tourists, fatally stabbing an Americanwoman from Florida and wounding fiveother people.Police said Thursday that it wasnt terrorism but in a city on edge after a summer ofattacks elsewhere in Europe, both authorities and London residents initially responded as if it were. Police flooded the streetswith extra officers and mobilized counterterror detectives before saying the shockingburst of violence appeared to have beentriggered by mental-health issues.

Help in fighting the Zika virus

Other voices

The Miami Herald

ad news theyre here. The

Zika-carrying mosquitoes despite all the spraying have arrived in Miami-Dade County,responsible for at least four local victims contracting the disease. They arethe rst to be infected by mosquitoesin the continental United States.And the situation grew more direMonday morning. The number oflocal Zika cases jumped to 14 and theU.S. Centers for Disease Control andPrevention issued a travel advisorywarning pregnant women to avoidvisiting sections of Miami.What do we do now?First, Florida needs to make a specic request for federal funding. Aspokesman for the U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Services told theEditorial Board on Sunday that thedepartment, so far, hasnt receivedone. Why this dangerous delay?Second, the do-nothing Congress,which went on recess before approving adequate funding to bombard theinfected stingers wreaking havoc inthe region, should come back earlyand lift a nger to protect the public.That was the unequivocally strongmessage from Floridas RepublicanSen. Marco Rubio on Friday, as localand state health ofcials, along withGov. Rick Scott, conrmed that thenewest cases are people who had nottraveled and been infected abroad.That means that now you can catchthe virus just by stepping out of your

house and encountering the wrong

kind of mosquito.Congressional members should goback to Washington and approve additional funding before this becomes afull-blown problem, Sen. Rubiosaid. We have waited far too long toaddress this issue.We could not agree more and commend him for his well-placed concern.In June, the Editorial Board urged Sen.Rubio to be a forceful voice for thewell-being of his constituents, so itsgood to hear his clarion call.Now, he, along with Gov. Scott,needs to be equally committed to jettisoning the politics that have beeninjected into stemming a potentialcrisis and work to get a clean fundingbill passed in Congress, not one larded with nonrelated items from theGOPs agenda. Thats what did in themost recent attempt to secure funding.Democrats balked at the bills thatincluded measures that would make itmore difcult for women trying toaccess contraceptive services throughPlanned Parenthood and similarorganizations and cut $540 millionfrom the Affordable Care Act.The Department of Health AndHuman Services says that this yearthe Centers for Disease Control andPrevention has moved $8 million forFlorida in the ght against Zika. Themoney can, among other things,enhance mosquito control and moni-

toring, provide epidemiology and

laboratory staff, equipment and supplies, and help contribute data to theU.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry. Zikacauses brain-damaging microcephalyin womens fetuses. In addition, theCDC awarded on July 1 about $27 million to the state in Public HealthEmergency Preparedness funding,which can be used to support Zikaresponse efforts.Now the onus is on the state ofFlorida to come through with a formalfunding request. The delay is irresponsible.Before Fridays troubling revelation, Florida had 300-plus Zika cases,more than any other state.Back in February, President Obamaasked Congress for $1.8 billion toght Zika. But Congress sat on itshands, while the Obama administration shifted $510 million for Ebola toght Zika, a stopgap measure.The Senate eventually cut the presidents request to $1.1 billion, whilethe House allocated only $662 million. But the chambers, ultimately,approved nothing.Blame the House for its attempt atlegislative blackmail by attachingpoison-pill provisions thatRepublicans knew Democrats wouldnever accept which is unacceptable.We need funds to stage a D-Day onthese mosquitoes. As Sen. Rubioreminded fellow lawmakers: This isnot a partisan issue; Zika bites everyone.

Letters to the editor

Bikes, pedestriansand automobilesEditor,Most of us are aware that thesemodes of transport are incompatiblewith each other among our roads. Asone who participates in all three competitive events, I nd it intriguingthe contentious, adversarial attitudeseach of us has for the other two, andhow pliable we are to adjusting thoseantagonisms depending on whichmode we are using at the time.Roads were initially developed forcars, and cars, of course, are the mostpotent and dangerous of the three. Assuch, in any incident involvingcyclists or pedestrians, drivers areautomatically at fault.For drivers, cyclists are too slowfor roads designed for faster travel.They back up trafc and force driversto veer into oncoming lanes; a condition that elicits often colorful verbaland visual improprieties. Pedestriansoffer the other danger for drivers andcyclists. Whether in crosswalks or

jaywalking, they seldom look up

from their virtual worlds to observethe real one around them.Drivers, cyclists and pedestrianseach have their own self-absorbed,presumptive attitudes. Drivers feelthey should have dominion over theroads. Cyclists, inhabiting as they dothat higher moral ground than domost of us mortals, scoff at rules asthey run stop signs, weave throughtrafc, ride on sidewalks and go wherever they damn well please.Pedestrians, being the lowest in thisfood chain, just seem clueless andunconcerned as to the consequencesof their wanderings, yet they too arepresumptuous in demanding the rightof way (Hey, Im walking here).Perhaps they feel condent in theknowledge that their hospital billswill be covered by someone else.Isnt it remarkable how humans canhold so many contradictory opinionsat one time?

Editor,Thank you for your attention to theMillbrae BART project. We need toapprove the development in Millbraeas soon as possible before the economy turns. This is a great time to lockin great retail and ofce tenants.Everyone is waiting for the bubble toburst, so any sign of a downturn andthe money for this development willdisappear. Lets move it forward. Iwant to spend my retail dollars inMillbrae. With the exception of groceries, the majority of my households combined income is beingspent in Burlingame, San Mateo, SanCarlos, Redwood City and SanFrancisco. I live here, I want to spendit here.

Is a downtownbattle brewing?T

he Hollywood Reporter had a story this week

that Funny or Die is cutting about 37 staffersand closing its San Mateo office. The trade publication also said about 95 staffers remain at the Emmywinning comedy website founded in part by Will Ferrelland headquartered in Los Angeles. As far as its SanMateo operations, it appears it decided to participate inthe latter part of its name, Funny or Die. Hat tip tointrepid Daily Journal reporter Austin Walsh for thatquip.That also means there is some prime office spaceavailable downtown, if anyone is interested.Perhaps Super Evil MegaCorp might be game. Themaker of VainGlory, the multiplayer online battlearena popular with the younger set has been campedout at the edge of downtownsince earlier this year. ThisSuper Evil MegaCorp is juston the other side of the trackson First Avenue in a lowslung building that was completely refurbished from itsformer home to auto repairbusinesses. This could be itsopportunity to get someprime downtown space in itsbattle for online and mobilesupremacy.The only worry for somemight be what exactly willhappen to downtown shouldsaid Super Evil MegaCorp decide to cause mayhem in thestreets and not just in the virtual world? After all, itsjust a matter of time for a company with that moniker,in my humble and obviously misinformed opinion,before it starts calling for live mayhem rather than thevirtual kind.Fortunately, downtown San Mateo has its ownUniversity of Heroes at the former Benjamin FranklinHotel, and while many of its students are ensconced inthe comfy confines of Draper University learning aboutvirtual reality, fintech, bitcoins and any number ofentrepreneurial pursuits that are honestly too complicated to explain or really understand, Im sure many ofthem would be more than willing to take up their capesto help beat back any threat by said Super EvilMegaCorp.Im sensing downtown startups Jelli, SnapLogic andFreewheel wouldnt be much help in this battle, but whatdo I know? Jelli folks just might be able to fight something fierce with sacks full of Jelli at their disposal. Youknow, the sticky kind. SnapLogic could have mad snapping skills combined with logic and Freewheel couldhave some kind of mechanical capability though Impicturing their employees as having the ability toboomerang old bicycle tires for some reason.But Im hoping it wont come to that. Perhaps adance-off in Central Park or downtownwide scavengerhunt may settle matters and leave downtown in peaceshould any trouble arise. Now that would be worth aFunny or Die video, if only it were still around. Maybethey can do it in the virtual world and many of us in thereal world would have no idea. At least that would be thehope.***Difficult to imagine that it was just December that Iwrote about the number of changes to Italian restaurantsdowntown. Though I reported some recent closures, likeBella Mangiata and Spiedos, there was also news that arevamp of Spiedos was in the works. Still is. Recently,Italian mainstay Osteria Coppa shut down and so didMade in Italy, the quaint and wonderful littlestuzzicheria on Third Avenue. Cappellini made a comeback but shut down again and is currently beingrevamped into the Golden Gate Tap House and Grill,which also has a location on Powell Street in the city.So that should be fun.But it is eerie to think that, for right now, the onlyItalian places downtown are Vespucci RistoranteItaliano and Tomatina, a chain.***It was with heavy heart this week that the DailyJournal said so long to Charlotte Anderson, an advertising sales representative here for the past six years whois taking some time to travel and enjoy life.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An investigation into USA Gymnastics

published Thursday determined the organization collected complaints of improperconduct by over 50 coaches between 1996and 2006 and regularly declined to forwardthem on to the authorities unless expresslyasked to do so, opening the door for furtherabuse in some cases.The reports release comes as the U.S.womens program heads to the Olympics as

In anideal world for players and shoe companiesthere will be a memorable golden momentthat goes viral leading to an it must bethe shoes phenomenon.Nike is the official apparel provider forthe team, but Jordan Brand, Adidas and othercompanies know the Olympics provide aunique chance to build a legacy around theirproduct. And while it wasnt obvious in aNike promotional photo of the team,Harrison Barnes and Kyle Lowry are sponsored by Adidas; Klay Thompson by ANTA and all are allowed to wear their non-Nikefootwear during the games.The one thing thats a little bit differentbetween a lot of the Olympic models versusa new signature shoe for an athlete likeKevin Durant or LeBron James, is a lot ofthe Olympic stuff ties back into the history

Angelo Bortolin is riding a slingshot into

his Division-I baseball career.The recent Serra graduate capped his Padrescareer by winning two legs of the WestCatholic Athletic League triple crown. Sincethen through his summer season with theSan Mateo Post 82 Shockers he hasntstopped swinging it.Bortolins latest exploits propelled theShockers to their third straight win in theAmerican Legion Western Region District 8championship tournament.

four more in the second to

jump ahead 5-0. In thesecond, Ricardo Barazzacame to the plate withone on and one out andnotched an RBI single,one of four straight hitsin the inning.

Were a good team. Were always rooting for each other. So it works out well.Post 82 got some clutch pitching too.Starting pitcher Spencer Stewart battledthrough six innings to earn the win. Theright-hander got touched for three runs in thebottom of the second and one more in thethird. But he hung three goose eggs on theboard before giving way to the bullpen.He started off good then wasnt gettingsome calls and started going downhill a lit-

then he dug deep and finished the sixinnings strong.Stewart had to dig really deep to getthrough the fifth and the sixth. Colorado hadrunners at the corners in the fifth, then hadrunners on first and second in the sixth. ButStewart relied on his breaking stuff to inducegrounders to escape both jams.Once he gets [runners on] theres a competiveness to his pitches, Barazza said. Hewas able to dig deep and throw his slider andcurve down and he was able to throw wherethe defense was and got out of it.Stewart gave way to the right-handerAberouette, who worked three innings toearn the save. Aberouette didnt allow a hit,though he walked two and hit one batter.After hardly throwing in the regular season, Aberouette has been one of theShockers most reliable workhorses out ofthe pen during the postseason. He has sixappearances on the year, four of which havecome in the playoffs.Felix is feeling it right now, especiallywith the regional going on, Barazza said.Hes been extremely clutch.As a freshman at Skyline College in thespring, Aberouette played catcher and first

He said the Panthers

needed to clear everything with the

NFL, the NCAA and state highschool officials before the projectinitiative was granted.Everyone said, Wow this is agreat idea, Fields said. ... We feltit was a special day for our playersand for the Spartanburg HighSchool football players.Panthers coach Ron Rivera saidwhen Fields initially approachedhim about the idea he was against it.But the NFL Coach of the Year soonchanged his mind once he realized itcould be a huge benefit to the highschool athletes.To me its about the love of thegame and bringing it back to thecommunity, Rivera said.Spartanburg High School coachChris Miller said he thought it was ajoke at first when his office received

Trailblazing success carries

Dungy to the Hall of FameBy Fred GoodallTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. Nine games into

his bid to transform the bumblingTampa Bay Buccaneers into championship contenders, the normallyunflappable Tony Dungy reached aboiling point.A 1-8 record was discouraging,but hardly the only dishearteningaspect of yet another slow start fora perennial lastplace franchisethatsufferedthrough 13 consecutive losingseasons beforetheyoungcoachs arrivalin 1996.The soft-spoTony Dungy kenDungy,who will beinducted into the Pro Football Hallof Fame on Saturday, recalled walking into his office after a third consecutive loss by six or fewerpoints on the road and learningone player failed to show up for anoff-day appearance at an elementary school. Another was 45 minutes late for an autograph sessionat a car dealership.The Oakland Raiders were headedto town that week, but there wasmore pressing business at hand.We go into our nine oclockmeeting, supposedly to introducethe game plan on the Raiders. Isaid: Let me just show you something, and put the two notes onthe overhead projector. This iswhat were dealing with, Dungysaid.You want to know why wearent winning. This is why wearent winning. I said, we can giveyou game plans, we can do tackling drills, we can do all that, itsnot going to change until you guysget this figured out, and I dontknow how to do that because Ivebeen doing it for three months,the coach added. I left, let theplayers talk about it. We ended upbeating the Raiders in overtime.Dungys even temperament andinsistence on players doing thingsthe right way not only helped

him survive his only losing season to lead Tampa Bay to four playoff berths in six seasons, but alsobecome the first African-Americanto win a Super Bowl as a headcoach during a stellar seven-yearrun with the Indianapolis Colts.And while an impressive coaching resume speaks for itself, the60-year-olds greatest legacy maybe the impact hes had on peopleslives through various civic andcharitable endeavors.I never felt our only job was towin, said Dungy, 139-69 in 13seasons, including 85-27 with theColts from 2002-08.The disciple of Hall of FamerChuck Noll had a combined 9-10postseason record, leading theBucs to the NFC title game in 1999and winning it all with the 2006Colts.His place in history is not loston Dungy, the first black elected tothe Hall of Fame on the basis ofcoaching accomplishments. Thetime he spent as a player and assistant under Noll shaped his philosophy.Coach Noll was so tremendousin that regard talking about yourlife, not just football. That yes, wewant to accomplish some things,but you had to get ready for life,Dungy said, You had to figure outwhat you were going to be allabout as a person.There were only a handful ofblack assistants in the NFL whenDungy entered the league as a player in 1977. He spent 15 seasons aspart of successful staffs inPittsburgh, Kansas City andMinnesota before getting to leadhis own team.I think, first, of the guys whocould only coach in the blackschools. You cant tell me thatEddie Robinson and John Merrittand Jake Gaither wouldnt havewon in the National FootballLeague.Then you had guys who wereassistants, who were neverthought of as coordinators or headcoaches. It wasnt in the realm ofthings, said Dungy, now an analyst for NBCs Football Night inAmerica.

By Murray EvansTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OKLAHOMA CITY A month after Kevin

Durant broke Oklahoma Citys heart, RussellWestbrook has reaffirmed his desire to staywith the Thunder.The team confirmed Thursday thatWestbrook had signed a contract extension. Aperson with direct knowledge of the termssaid the two sides had agreed on a new threeyear deal worth $85.7 million. The personspoke to The Associated Press on conditionof anonymity because the team did not releaseterms.I am grateful to extend my contract withthe Thunder and continue to play with theonly organization that I have played for andhave loved being a part of since I was drafted

intotheNBA,Westbrook said in a statement released before a lateafternoon news conference. Im really excitedabout moving forwardwith this group of guysand continuing to play infront of the best fans inthe world.RussellThe27-year-oldWestbrookWestbrook is one of thetop stars in the NBA and piled up 18 tripledoubles last season, tying Magic Johnson forthe most in the last 30 years. The five-timeAll-Star averaged 23.5 points, 7.8 reboundsand 10.4 assists last season as the Thunderreached the Western Conference finals, inwhich they lost in seven games to the Golden

State Warriors after jumping to a 3-1 series

lead.For his entire career, Westbrook had beenpaired with a fellow superstar in Durant andtogether they turned Oklahoma City into aperennial NBA title contender. The Thunderhave reached the conference finals in four ofthe past six seasons, but advanced to the NBAFinals only once, falling to the Miami Heatin 2012.Durant became a free agent at seasons endand announced on July 4 that he would signwith Golden State instead of staying with theThunder and Westbrook.Westbrooks contract had been set to expireafter next season, and after Durants departure which was unexpected by Thunder fans rumors swirled about Westbrooks future. Ifthings go poorly for Oklahoma City during

the upcoming season, the length of

Westbrooks new contract would seem tomake him a more valuable trade piece.Fr now, both he and Thunder seem to begoing all in.On behalf of the Thunder organization andthe entire state of Oklahoma I want to congratulate Russ and offer my sincere appreciation for not only his profound presence andskill as a player, but for his high character,personal integrity and extraordinary leadership, team owner Clay Bennett said.General manager Sam Presti saidWestbrook personifies many of the traitsthat are synonymous with Oklahoma andOklahomans. We are excited that Russell haschosen to continue to build the legacy of theThunder with us as we move forward together.

Dish Network relegates ESPN to add-on status

NEW YORK Dish Network is offering a

new skinny bundle of about 50 cable channels that doesnt include ESPN and someother sports channels, giving people whodont care about sports a way to save moneyon TV without joining the ranks of cord cutters.Sports channels are among the most expensive for cable and satellite TV companies andare usually included in big cable bundles. Thatdrives up the bill for all customers, whether

they enjoy watching ball games or not.

Dishs new Flex Pack starts at $30 amonth, not including fees and taxes, while abig cable bundle typically costs about $90.Dish is not the first cable distributor to sella smaller basic cable bundle without ESPN,however.Comcast has done so for nearly a decade.And Dishs package is similar to VerizonFios Custom TV when it launched in April2015. Verizon also made ESPN (and lots ofother channels) add-ons to a smaller cablebundle. Then ESPN sued and other program-

mers protested. Custom TV was revamped in

February to two core bundles, one sportsfocused and one not, with fewer options forgroups of channels to add.Custom TV has been diluted pretty badlysince those changes, said Craig Moffett ofMoffettNathansonResearch.Verizonspokesman Ray McConville says the revisedversion of Custom TV is more popular andchanges were made in response to customerfeedback rather than programmer demands.Verizon settled with ESPN in May.Dish has a good relationship with ESPN

and let all the programmers know about the

new package, said Warren Schlichting, theEnglewood, Colorado, companys executivevice president of marketing, programmingand media sales. It takes cooperation onboth sides, he said.An ESPN spokeswoman did not respond toa request for comment.Moffett says that if entertainment companies dont fight Dish, other cable and satellitecompanies are likely to copy it, meaningsavings for lots of TV lovers who dont watchsports.

theyve killed kids or not. Lovely stuff,

really.The standout is Robbies Harley Quinn,the most dynamic presence of the bunch: aclown cocktail of mental disorder and cheerleader pep. Robbie pulls it off, but Ayerspoils the movies breakout character bycontinually reducing her to mere eye candy,ogling her as she bends over.Quinn is the demented girlfriend of theon-the-loose Joker (Jared Leto), who turnsout to be a curiously small part of the film.That, however, proves to be a relief. Leto,working in the sizable wake of JackNicholson and Heath Ledger, proves a massive disappointment in the role, lacking inboth menace and wit despite the tall-tales ofhis Method extremes during shooting.The film, as a whole, is missing thehumor and spryness that was promised. Itsbest laughs are unintentional (all Ill say isthat there are souls trapped in swords) andthe charisma of Smith and Robbie aredrowned out in Ayers turgid tale.Ayers previous film was the WWII tank

drama Fury, an overbearingly bleak

movie that similarly followed a harsh bandof warriors and flipped the good-vs-baddichotomy of Americans against Nazis intoa less heroic story.In Suicide Squad, Ayer questionswhether a killer can be a hero and vice versa,even equating psychopaths with elite soldiers. He would like to vanquish the triumphant superhero and reorder the comicuniverse for more complicated times. Butthe only thing he may have killed is thecomic-book adaption.Watching Suicide Squad (which willnevertheless make hundreds of millions) isto see the superhero movie reaching rockbottom, sunk by moral rot and hollow bombast. Down, down and away!Suicide Squad, a Warner Bros. release, israted PG-13 by the Motion PictureAssociation of America for sequences ofviolence and action throughout, disturbingbehavior, suggestive content and language. Running time: 123 minutes. Oneand a half stars out of four.

It became kind of a phenomenon, Ayer

said. It took on a life of its own.Ayer made his name with films like thegritty L.A. police drama End of Watch andthe WWII tank film Fury, and wanted tomake sure he was viable in the industrysmost popular genre too. Plus, he liked theidea of making a superhero movie about badguys.Good guys are boring, Ayer said. Theydo the right thing all the time. But bad guys,you never know what theyre going to do.So he assembled a crack-team of actors andstarted making one of his movies, albeitwith a PG-13 instead of an R-rating, to tellthe origin story of why some of the deadliestmeta-humans ended up working for the U.S.government.Will Smith signed on to play the sharpshooter Deadshot. Jared Leto, fresh off hisOscar win for Dallas Buyers Club, wouldbe the latest actor to don the Jokers makeup. Viola Davis was on board to play theshadowy government official Amanda

Waller. And rising star Margot Robbie

agreed to portray the Jokers psychotic girlfriend, Harley Quinn who became animmediate fan favorite after the studio teasedfootage last summer at Comic-Con. Thisyear at the annual convention, you couldntswing a proverbial baseball bat without hitting a Harley Quinn cosplayer.The lineup is also quietly one of the mostdiverse superhero casts to hit the market,with Jay Hernandez as Diablo, KarenFukuhara as Katana and Adewale AkinnuoyeAgbaje as Killer Croc.Davis said thats all thanks to Ayer, who asa teenager lived in South Central LosAngeles.His group of friends, his family, everything about his world is diverse because itjust is. Its not anything that he orchestrated; its not anything that he had to thinkabout, Davis said. His work is just anextension of that.It was mostly filmmaking as usual on set,aside from some method antics from Leto.

Little did Ayer know at the time that all

eyes would be on this film to essentiallyprove the worth of Warner Bros. big jumpinto the world of extended comic book universes, which Marvel and Disney currentlyrule with their Avengers films and standalones such as Iron Man, Thor andCaptain America. Heck, the Disney andMarvel juggernaut even made Ant-Manand Guardians of the Galaxy householdnames.Suicide Squad was just entering reshootswhen Batman v Superman opened. Rumorsstarted flying: Were the reshoots to addjokes? Was DC course correcting already?Ayer who at the time tweeted thatreshoots for humor is silly and otherson the film say none of the rumors werenttrue.If anything, Ayer said, he got upgrades.It was more about, Hey, lets be sure thisworks, he said. They had the chance toclear up some story elements and add somemore action to the mix.

Small food companies ponder response to new GMO labeling law

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK A new law that

requires food makers to label the packaging of any products that containgenetically modified ingredients hassmall and medium-sized manufacturersfacing some big decisions.Should they try to provide the information on the label itself, or invest inthe technology to add scannablecodes? Should they change their ingre-

dients to steer clear of such products,

and is it worth getting certified asbeing GMO-free? These are tough questions for companies that may not havefinancial cushions like bigger businesses to absorb the cost of suchchanges, which can run into the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a considerable amount for a smallenterprise.The law, which President BarackObama signed last week, requires food

manufacturers and producers to disclose

whether products contain GMO components, also known as genetically engineered ingredients.

Food briefsItalian law promotes doggybags to cut down on food wasteMILAN Italian lawmakers have passed legislation tocut down on food waste, making it easier to donate fooddirectly to the needy and promoting containers for restaurants to help Italians overcome their aversion to doggybags.Agriculture Minister Maurizio Martina said the law passedthis week was a legacy of the Expo 2015 worlds fair focusing on food security, during which dignitaries includingPope Francis decried the paradox of hunger amid abundance.The government estimates that food waste costs the economy $14 billion a year. The Coldiretti food lobby says consumers are responsible for half of the waste, restaurants for20 percent and distribution channels for another 15 percent,with each Italian tossing out 176 pounds of food a year.

Jared Leto puts his own spin

on The Joker in Suicide SquadBy Lindsey BahrTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES In portraying

The Joker, a man who lives in aworld without rules, Jared Leto hadonly one very specific rule forhimself for Suicide Squad: Dontthink about past interpretations.Thats no small thing. The cackling, unhinged character and archnemesis of Batman is one of themore famous villains in pop culture. Hes been portrayed unforgettably by both Jack Nicholson inTim Burtons 1989 Batman andHeath Ledger in The DarkKnight. It was one of the lateactors last performances andearned Ledger a posthumousSupporting Actor Academy Awardin 2009.Even with Letos own Oscar forhis role in Dallas Buyers Club,everyone involved felt the pressure to get it right.It was terrifying, said directorDavid Ayer. Its been done so wellin the past and there is a bit ofstage fright that happens withthat. But you cant let that stopyou.For Leto, its akin to playingHamlet. Many have come before

and many will come after.

It was just an incredible honorto be asked to contribute that larger group of work, Leto said. Youhave to march forward ... explorenew territory.Letos Joker is certainlyunhinged and prone to fits ofuncontrollable, nail-on-chalkboard cackling while committingextreme acts of violence, buttheres also a deeply ingrainedcalm in him.In developing this version, Ayerand Leto settled on someone whois a businessman at his core inebriated with power and theabsolute authority of his owninstinct. They found modern daytouchstones in dictators and cartelleaders.ProducerRichardSuckledescribed him as the kind of manwho would have next seasonsPrada or Gucci. He accessorizesthose high-fashion duds withslicked back neon green hair setagainst his chalky white makeup,bright red lips and gold teeth.Jareds a rock star and understands how to hold and captivate astadium. He brought that energy tothe role, Ayer said. He walkedthe tightrope and he did it.

Leto found the experience

intoxicating.I had more fun with The Jokerthan anything Id ever donebefore, Leto said. I reallyfell in love with (him).He threw himself fullyinto the role, even inbetween takes whichoccasionally involvedlittle off-color, Jokerappropriate gifts tohis co-stars (including live rats andsome more R-ratedparaphernalia).In the film, theJoker stays outside ofthe core Suicide Squadteam.Heslaserfocused on trying to gethis girlfriend, the wildHarley Quinn (MargotRobbie), back and out ofherimprisonment.Despite the limited screentime, its an impactful teaser for someone who mightreturn in future films.Im really excited aboutthe possibility that thiscould just be an introduction, Leto said. Therecould be more to come.

Theyare just dismissive. Its unbelievable.For their part, San CarlosElementary School District officialssaid they are committed to addressingthe concerns raised by local residents.Superintendent Craig Baker said inan email he is more than willing totalk with those who claim the campuswork is deteriorating their quality oflife, but has not been contacted by anyresidents.We remain very open to meetingwith anyone who lives in the surrounding area and continuing these conversations to ensure we are being goodneighbors and to address communityconcerns, he said.

Elementary School District Board of

Trustees.Such an expressed dedication totransparency by school officialscomes as news to Charles Borden,another Belmont resident, who said hetoo is fed up with the alleged unresponsiveness of the district.Borden said he has sent emails to theschool officials expressing his concerns regarding traffic as well as a perceived lack of outreach by school officials, but has not received a response.I dont see it, he said, of the districts expressed willingness to meetand discuss issues with neighbors.Borden joined Coyle and a few otherneighbors who recently spoke out at aBelmont City Council meeting seeking assistance from city officials tointervene on their behalf, which compelled Vice Mayor Charles Stone tostep in as an intermediary and attemptto establish a relationship between thetwo sides.Stone said he is interested in ensuring residents are granted a fair chanceto express their perspective.I want to make sure folks inBelmont can feel they are heard, hesaid. Even if the school district cantgive them what they want, I hope theycan be responsive and neighborly.Beyond her concerns about traffic inan area already often congested due toproximity with Alameda de las Pulgas,Coyle said she believes residents werenot granted sufficient opportunity toaddress their opinion on the projectprior to the school going under construction.Coyle claims school officials havenot provided documentation showingthey are exempt from state development laws which require thorough andcomprehensive environmental reviewbefore beginning construction.School officials believe though theyhave obeyed the state law regulatingdevelopment for campuses, and evendistributed fliers noticing neighborsthat the work was set to begin.We have tried to be diligent in communicating with the public about allour plans and we have held numerouspublic meetings on this topic over the

past 18 months, said Baker. Many

community members,includingneighbors in the [Tierra Linda] areawho do not have children in ourschools, attended those gatherings, soI am a little baffled by the commentsmade by the resident on Chula Vistathat there was little warning ofimpending construction.But Coyle and Borden both said thenotices were not sufficiently specificor widely shared to spread awarenessthat the noticed meetings wouldaddress campus construction, so manyin surrounding neighborhoods likelydisregarded the invitation.Going forward, Stone also encouraged frustrated residents to collaboratewith school and city officials duringmeetings of the Four CornersCommittee, during which San Carlosand Belmont city, school and community members intervene to discussprojects affecting both cities.Stone is pushing for the committeeto hold another meeting soon, inhopes that will facilitate discussionsbetween all concerned parties.He added the backlash which theschool district is receiving during theconstruction process is common forlarge, public building projects.Any time you have projects, therewill always be folks who dont find outabout it and feel like there is a blindspot, he said.To address such concerns, Farley saidshe too is up for meeting with thoseconcerned about the campus construction project.I am working with the district officeand the residents that have contactedme to sit down and discuss their concerns in person, she said.Though Stone is working on the partof Belmont residents, and San Carlosschool officials have expressed a commitment to engaging with surroundingresidents, Coyle said she is uncertainthe situation will improve.What is annoying here is that theyjust dont seem to care, she said.That is the bottom line.

The first person experience iswhats so critical in this.Over the five-month installation, thousands of people are anticipated to interactwith the Owls as they walk along the recreational trail that could one day be underwater if nothing is done.The Owl lets us look into the future, saidcounty Supervisor Dave Pine, a foundingmember of the Sea Change San MateoCounty initiative. The water will rise.Theres no question about that. Of all thecounties, we have the most at risk in termsof our property value and our developmentpatterns, as we know, have really pushedinto the Bay. So we cannot avoid the challenges of sea level rise.Local representatives have been extremely active in planning for a predicted 3 feet ofsea level rise by the end of the century andare in the midst of finalizing a vulnerabilityassessment that notes nearly $24 billion inassets and over 100,000 people are in riskzones. Its one of the few counties in thestate to be bordered by both a Bayfront and

the ocean, prompting elected representatives at all levels to form the local SeaChange initiative.The draft assessment is anticipated forrelease around October, and the collaborative effort will eventually include adaptiveplanning strategies, said Hilary Papendick,climate resiliency specialist with the countys Office of Sustainability.But instead of just frightening the publicwith stark figures about sea level rise andwhats at risk, Papendick said its moreeffective for people to feel empowered thatthey can have an impact.One thing weve learned, is climatechange can be really overwhelming anddaunting, Papendick said. Showing people the impacts, along with the solutions,is much more effective in engaging peoplewith this issue.The Owls were strategically placed wherethe countys Parks Department is strivingto undertake a $6 million promenade rejuvenation project. Having recently completedimprovements to the western promenade,the eastern promenade project involvesenhancing nearly 1,000 feet of shoreline byenlarging and sloping the beach, whichserves as a horizontal levee. It also includesrelocating the parking lot then removingand replanting nearly 120 new trees on the

most eastern tip of San Mateo.

As part of the Look Ahead virtual realitytour, users will see how the promenade project not only helps to protect against sealevel rise, but also promotes recreationalresources at Coyote Point.During Thursdays launch celebration, 10year-old Lillian Alexander gave an Owl aspin. Alexander, whos home-schooled, iscurrently working on a film project withother kids about the ocean. Even at a youngage, she already has a passion for how legislation can be used to help protect theenvironment.It was surprising that sea level rise isgoing to have such an effect on the land,Alexander said before explaining why sheloves the ocean. Its honestly kind of likethe blue heart of our planet.Children like Lillian and the thousandswho are expected to interact with the equipment are the exact type of audience theinstallation is meant to attract and educate.The local installation follows a shorterprogram piloted in Marin County and pre-

His innovative work lives onwith the millions of people who enjoy thevideo content they purchased, no matterwhere they are in the world.Krikorian was a volunteer on the organizations board of industry leaders, accord-

ing to the press release, who offered mentorship and guidance to aspiring innovators and entrepreneurs.He achieved success at a very youngage, but always remembered his roots andreached out to give a hand to those whoneeded it, said Shapiro.Jason Hirschorn, who worked as president of the media entertainment group atSling, recalled fond memories of his former friend and colleague on Twitter.He was kind, brilliant and unique. Agreat husband, father, brother and son,tweeted Hirschorn. To me, the definitionof best friend.Hirschorn characterized Krikorian as acommitted father of two daughters and husband on Twitter.

The Federal EmergencyManagement Agency Region IX funded theinstallation.Owl users will also have a chance to take ashort poll and even leave comments byrecording their thoughts after using theOwls. The public input may be used inClimate Access communication tool kitthat will be distributed to public and community agencies, as well as incorporatedinto the countys Sea Change San MateoCounty program, Pike said.Were trying to really move the needleon this issue and get people engaged, Pikesaid, recalling some of the comments children left during the Marin County exhibition.

The three are thesecret to his success.Vena also recognized Krikorian in hisstatement as a humanitarian who will notonly be remembered as an inventor andinnovator but as a compassionate and caring person.Outside of the company he was a friendto everyone and genuinely cared for peoples well-being, which is a rare virtue thatno one at the company took for granted,Vena said. His impact and legacy reachesfar beyond his work at Sling Media and hisloss will be felt by many. Our thoughts andprayers are with his family during this difficult time.
